Sarjan's Cricket History

SARJAN GROUP was formed with idea of bringing people together for playing CRICKET, a very well know sport in India which almost everyone has played during their childhood. Cricket has been the core sport of SARJAN GROUP.
A separate cricket committee is made to run the cricketing events.
 
Initially cricket was played on Sunday’s in morning time at the PKVR ground, Mission Road ground, HKU and Kai Tak ground. But slowly and gradually due to the increase in the league games organised by HKCA (HK cricket association) and also due to the closure of Kai Tak and HKU grounds it got difficult to get ground to play on Sunday’s.
 
Now a day’s cricket in played on weekdays morning from 7 am to 10 am.
Cricket is played in two parts in Sarjan Group- internal tournaments and competitive tournaments.
 

 
 
 

INTERNAL TOURNAMENT:
These are the tournaments where members play with each other and there is a fix sequence and format for these tournaments which has been going on since the beginning.
 

  1. Cricket Sixes: Sixes tournament is played on holiday and is generally played in May. Since last few years it is played at KCC ground. Twice it was played in Guangzhou as well. It is a one-day tournament with 8 teams participating in the tournament and around 70 members play this tournament. The winning team and runners up team captain is then promoted to next tournament.
